Miley Cyrus Contemplates A Breakup On Her New Single “Week Without You”

It may draw inspiration from her relationship with Liam Hemsworth.

With Miley Cyrus‘ new album Younger Now set to drop in just over a week, the pop star decided to give fans another taste of the project with the release of her new single “Week Without You.” It’s a slow country song that finds Cyrus addressing a theoretical breakup. Although she hasn’t spoken publicly about the song’s subject matter, fans are bound to speculate that it draws inspiration from Cyrus’ relationship with her fiancee Liam Hemsworth. The couple have dated on and off since 2009, and got engaged for a second time in January 2016 after breaking things off back in 2013.

On the track, Cyrus wonders where she’d be if she took a break from her relationship:

If I spent a week without youBet you’d wonder what I doI think that I’d start going outGet caught kissing other dudes

The chorus features her reflecting on heartbreak and yearning for more:

I know that I gave you my heartBut you stomped it to the groundAnd that’s what’s got me wondering what is likeTo not have you around

“This writing process has been a really different experience because I’ve never put out an album this way,” Cyrus said in a press statement. “People have been asking me, ‘is this like a re-introduction of yourself?’ But it’s not that at all. Actually, it’s more like, I am this person who embraces all my past selves. This album is the most me for right now that I can be.”
